Who is Dan Blacker?

[Cree]

I just saw he claimed Quiet Force for $40,000 at Santa Anita, out of race 2. The horse had something like 15 slips in for him last time (for $25,000).
Was just curious who Dan Blacker the trainer is? He doesn't have stats past 2011.
Thanks.

Hi Cree,
He was assistant trainer to both Mandella in California and Tom Albertrani in NY. There's a link below to a quick interview about him. TJ

Thanks TJ. I was trying to figure out who he had worked for before he went out on his own.
Question answered.

Just watched the MMM workout, he looked a bit goofy out there, very unfocused. He sure is a big horse.
